Villa With Heated Pool, AirCon, Spanish kitchen with pizza oven, free WiFi
Casa Carolina is situated in the countryside just 10 minutes drive from the lovely pueblo blanco (white village) of Competa with it's many shops, bars and restaurants. The villa enjoys a peaceful setting with only the sounds of nature to disturb you. Its surroundings are lovely - the view up to the mountains is simply stunning. Terraces and garden surround the villa with a lovely pool to make the most of the outdoor lifestyle. A Spanish kitchen is set next to a pretty vine covered pergola for alfresco dining while watching the sun set over the hills. There is a large area of land which belongs to the villa, with olive and almond trees and wild herbs leading down to a stream - a wonderful place for nature lovers with wild flowers, bees, butterflies and birds and, of course, the ever present song of crickets. If you tire of all this there is plenty to do close by visiting the beaches of the Costa del Sol, pretty Spanish towns and the cities of Malaga and Granada. The house is cozy in winter with heating and a log burner and secure if you have dogs.

Very enjoyable stay. Villa has good amenities. These were much appreciated (especially during one of the days when there was a severe storm). Loved just sitting around savouring the scenery. Really also enjoyed reading, walking around and our meals there. Competa itself is a very attractive place with a good range of restaurants and bars but is a 10 minute winding drive away -so the villa may more suit individuals who want to get away from it all, rather than those who want to be close to an urban centre.
Zeer eenvoudig niet schoon huis met kleiner zwembad dan in beschrijving
Wij zouden dit nooit meer boeken! En wij zijn campings gewend dus geen luxe maar dit was echt niet de villa die we verwacht hadden. Het zwembad is kleiner dan in de advertentie staat! We hebben het nagemeten en het is 6,50mx2.50m. de oven en waterkoker waren erg vies, alles plakte. Er bleken in de woonkamer ook meerdere plekken smerig. Douche allemaal kalkaanslag. zwembad konden we 1 dag gebruiken. De dag erna lag het vol met pissebedden! De aankomst was oké alleen werd er niet door het huis gelopen maar de eigenaars waren snel weer weg. De weg er naartoe is eng. Laatste stuk geen vangrail en heel smal met afgrond naast je dus wij durfden niet weg in de avond omdat er geen verlichting is. Na 3 van de 9 dagen zijn wij weg gegaan. Meerendeel door de weg/ligging maar ook door de viezigheid. Vlak voordat wij weggingen hebben we het zwembad opgemeten omdat we twijfelden over de afmeting. Bericht naar de eigenaar gestuurd dat wij toch wel een gedeelte van de huur terug verwachten maar dit wordt geweigerd omdat we zelf hebben besloten weg te gaan en zij zeggen, omdat we aan hadden gegeven dat het kwam door de ligging/weg. Maar ook de viezigheid aangegeven in de keuken en ja, daarna pas over het zwembad geklaagd omdat we het toen pas gemeten hadden. Maar ik vind dat een beschrijving moet kloppen en dat een vergoeding wel op zijn plaats is. We hebben namelijk nu niet de verwarming voor het
zwembad gebruikt en het huis kunnen zij nu gewoon weer verhuren. Daarna hebben we een app
an absolutely fantastic place to stay, property very clean and exceptionally well kept and located in the most amazing location with views of the hills and mountains on all sides, stunning sunrises and sunsets!
The property had all the amenities you would need inside and out, comfy living room, and really nice pool area, with lots of places to sit, take in the views and catch the sun. Our hosts very kindly met us to direct us to the house and although we didn’t need it, were available to answer any queries.
The road to the house is a bit of an adventure, but once you’ve done it a couple of times it isn’t quite so tricky. It’s quite close to Competa with some nice shops, interesting buildings and good places to eat. The house is only about half an hour from the coast so ideal for trips down to the beach.
We had an absolutely wonderful week there and can highly recommend it! Muchas gracias!
Accommodation was perfectly adequate with plenty of utensils. Outside space and pool great with awesome views up and down the valley. A motor is essential but well worth the short drive to Competa which offers good shopping and some excellent restaurants. We hope to return!
Our family spent a wonderful week at this villa. It had everything we needed and the hosts were super responsive to any questions we had. The villa was very clean and the kids spent a lot of time in the pool. The roads leading to the villa are narrow and winding but we did get used to them. The views were spectacular and the BBQ and pizza oven allowed us to have some great meals from the comfort of the villa.
A lovely situated villa and pool, with amazing views, with the calmness and serenity we were looking for. It is extremely well looked after, with all the facilities you need and more - using the pizza oven was fun, if hot!
We had a lovely relaxing stay at the villa, it had everything we needed.
The pool was lovely and warm.
It was great listening to the birdsong in the bar area in the evening with a cold drink.
Im sure we will be back.
We wanted peace and quiet with home from home comforts (and some sun of course) - and we found everything at Casa Carolina! We quickly got used to the final access to the property over a rough track and enjoyed sunbathing by the lovely heated pool and watching the sun go down with a glass or two in one of the many viewpoints. The villa interior is cool and comfortable - we slept very well. And it’s barely a half hour’s drive to fabulous sandy beaches! Marie and Clive were perfect hosts - we’ll certainly want to return!
An absolutely wonderful setting, in a very well functioning house with everything you need. Both the house manager and owner were easy to reach and very helpful, especially with restaurant recommendations in the area. Thanks for a lovely stay!❤️
Our family had a great time in Casa Carolina. It's a beautiful location set right in the hills and the house is v.well equipped inside. The owners were very helpful and went out of their way.
We have just stayed at Casa Carolina and have had the most amazing holiday. To be met by the super friendly and helpful Pedro was a brilliant start, I don’t think we would have found the house otherwise! You absolutely need a car to be able to stay here and to explore the beautiful mountain area.
The house was so comfortable and well equipped. There was nothing that we could suggest to improve and the house and all of the outside areas were really clean.
The house was warm and cosy, we only lit the log burner on a couple of the more chilly evenings. The weather was really pleasant but we were super pleased that we had paid for the pool to be heated, the children spent hours in there and it really made the holiday (I heard people grumbling on the plane home that they hadn’t been able to swim in their pools as too cold!) We loved being able to cook and eat outside and the view while you do it is spectacular.
The area itself is stunningly beautiful. The town of Cómpeta is lovely with plenty to explore and some nice places to eat and drink.
Communication with Marie and Clive was really easy and responsive. They provided all the required information in good time and were really friendly and welcoming.
Everything about this holiday exceeded expectations. We would definitely recommend for a comfortable family adventure. We would love to come back! Thankyou.
Cosy hide away in the mountains. Property clean and comfortable. Excellent outdoor amenities, especially the pool and seating area. Excellent communication with hosts and property manager.
It was exactly as stated on the website. Perfect location for a week of swimming, sunbathing, chilling and falling in love with the view.
Pedro's colleague who meet us was friendly and bubbly, as well as helpful. The road to the villa is not the best as on one section could damage the underneath of your car if you are not careful.
I would absolutely recommend this villa for anyone who is either looking for a complete chill out holiday or as someone to use as a base for travelling to local towns.
Directions that were given were one of the best I have had.
We have been holidaying in villas in Spain for 8 years and so far, this is our favourite. Clean, well equipped villa with THE most amazing views. Lots of different seating areas, lovely warm pool (even without heating) due to having a pool cover, comfy beds and a fabulous pizza oven which we eventually mastered!!. Competa has lots of lovely places to eat and Neeja beach is only a 30min drive away. Perfect relaxing 2 weeks.
Excellent property in a lovely area. The villa has everything needed for a comfortable stay, the beds are comfy, kitchen well stocked with utensils and crockery and their is aircon for the hot summer nights. It was a bit chilly in early April for us, so the log fire and pizza oven/bbq came in very useful. We paid extra for the pool to be heated and it was excellent-good sunbeds too. Thankfully we met Pedro in the village to direct us to the semi-rural location, and the route down is fine after the first time driving it. A car is an absolute must, not only to reach the villa but to see all the area has to offer. Great stay, thanks again.
Pasamos en Casa Carolina dos matrimonios con dos hijos (17 y 10 años), La casa es muy acogedora y tranquila. La descripción es exactamente lo que encuentras. Nosotros buscamos siempre lugares muy tranquilos y Casa Carolina nos aportó el espacio que necesitábamos.
La región también aporta muchas posibilidades de excursiones, paseos y turismo. La casa esta bien comunicada.
Muy aconsejable para familias y pequeños grupos de amigos.

We spent 15 very chilled out days at casa Carolina.
The house has everything you need and more.
We had great fun trying to perfect the perfect pizza, in the wood fired oven.
Competa is only a short drive away and has everything you need ( restaurant's, supermarkets etc etc ).
All in all a fantastic and a very chilled get away.
Bye the way dont waste the heat from wood oven when you have finished, we would put a whole chicken in after making pizza, and have it cold the day after.
A very big Thank You to Marie and Clive
Kind Regards
Jason and family

About the host
Hosted by clive cole
Clive and Marie have owned their holiday home since 2007 and have spent the past years improving it. We purchased Casa Carolina for family holidays, and, looking to the future, a place to retire.
Why they chose this property
We love Competa for it's close location to some of the bigger Costa del Sol resorts but it is an unspoilt, typical Spanish village with breathtaking scenery and clean mountain air.
What makes this property unique
One of the best valley/Mountain views in the area. A beautiful garden. A pool that can be heated. Wood fired pizza oven. Concrete track all the way from the road to the house. Child proof fencing around pool. Secure garden for dogs. Walks into countryside from house.
